In which I discuss hermeneutics with a leftover steamed dumpling from last night’s dim sum meal, 3

steamed dumpling:  “But what you’re positing sounds to me an awful lot like intentionalism.  Which, that’s been out of academic fashion since, what?—the New Critics?*

me: “Sure.  But just because something goes out of fashion doesn’t make it useless.”

me:

steamed dumpling: “Parachute pants?”

me: “Sewed mine together and made a really nifty tent.  With lots of little compartments for storage.”

    Levi Super Bells ?

    Clay Skateboard Wheels ?

    The Captain and Tenille ?

    Platform Shoes ?

    Do I need to go on, smartass ?

    Don’t you think you should lay off the dim sum?

    It’s starting to affect you…sum.

  3. Alpha Baboon says:

    Is there anything that ISNT trotted out and reinterpretted again and again these days in a perpetual hermeneutic cycle…? Except of course changed slighly to adhere to the current standards of political correctness..

    Though it isnt trendy to say.. give me foundationalism any day….

    Left over dim sum???  Is that even possible?

    Not at my table.

    Yes, your basic white bra and panties are never out of style.

    What did you do with your Members Only jacket?

    “your basic white bra and panties are never out of style.”

    Unless you’re wearing black and they show through–that’s bad.

    Spambuster: clear.  (How do it know?)

  8. “White Belts?” What?  You’ve never been to Florida?

    “The Volkswagen Thing?” Eagerly sought out by WWII reenactors and turned into a poor man’s Kublewagen.

    “Levi Super Bells?” Check out vintage American clothes prices world-wide…start with Japan.

    “Clay Skateboard Wheels?” Well, If ya grew up in Bedrock…

    “The Captain And Tenille?” Except for “Muskrat Love”, still some mindless pop that has aged better than, say “Lemon Tree”.

    “Platform Shoes?” See vintage American clothes, above.

    There is nothing so worn out, played out, or used up that noone, nowhere wants it.

    At least that’s what I’m hoping for what with the divorce and all.

    Jeff, you’ve been subjected to far too much education.

  10. Jeff Goldstein says:

    Tell me about it.

  11. PP says:

    What is the existential impact of retro-karma vis-a-vis the resurgence of so-called “70’s fashion” in the otherwise 2000-esque fashion gestalt?

    Personally, I’m forever stuck in 80’s hair and angora sweaters.
